Fam TD hails Caf A course

Football Association of Malawi Technical Director (TD) Yvon Avry has described Confederation of African Football's (Caf) A coaching course as an important step for Malawi football. Caf officially granted the approval for Football Association of Malawi (Fam) to conduct the course after the country's football governing body successfully met all eight requirements under the continental body's Coaching Convention. Avry said Malawi had not been allowed to conduct Caf A courses for several years after Caf made changes to its coach education requirements. "It is an important step for us because for some years now, we were not allowed to manage Caf A courses. Caf changed its approach six years ago and decided that all football associations in Africa should prepare a new, updated and high level syllabus. What we have achieved in the last few months is fantastic, and now, with the response from Caf, we have been given the right to conduct CAF A courses," he told Fam's website. Avry said the programme's absence affected the development of high level coaches in Malawi after the last Caf A Coaching Course in the country about ten years ago. "For our history, the last CAF A course we conducted was in 2016, 10 years ago. That means, in 10 years, we regressed in our level of football because we were not developing coaches well," the website quoted him as saying. He said the programme's/ return will support coaches working at the highest levels of the game. "Yes, we could manage up to Caf B but now we are speaking about high level. We are speaking about top teams, the men's national team, women's national team, youth and senior teams. This will have a big impact on our football. Developing coaching is important and necessary to develop the level of football," he told Fam.mw. Fam President Fleetwood Haiya said the approval is a significant achievement in the association's efforts to transform football through investment in technical capacity. "The milestone will strengthen coach education and help produce more highly qualified coaches capable of competing at the highest level of the game, as Malawi will now be able to offer one of Africa's highest coaching qualifications locally," Haiya told Fam's website. Caf A coaching licence sits just below the Pro Licence and is the second-highest coaching qualification that Caf offers.
